Most shocking scenes so far
MONDAY’S episode rocked fans with its shocking scenes. Jamie East picks five other moments that shook Westeros to its core.
Cersei the evil queen was having a blast
CERSEI AND THE SEPT OF BAELOR: Hell hath no fury like a Cersei scorned. This was the evil queen at her very best, getting all her enemies in one place, then – in one of the best- made sequences of the entire show – KABOOM.
One of the big ‘gasp’ moments when we found out the truth about Jon
JON SNOW’S TRUE LINEAGE: Many suspected it – and lots more were hoping for something like it – but when it was finally revealed that Jon was not Ned’s illegitimate son but the true heir to the throne, we all gasped.
Rape scene was controversial for OTT sexual violence
SANSA AND RAMSAY’S WEDDING: Ramsay raping Sansa on her wedding night in front of Theon was controversial. It did a lot for Sansa and Theon’s character development, but was criticised as yet more OTT sexual violence.
A gut-wrenching scene saw Shireen burn at the stake
STANNIS SACRIFICES SHIREEN: One of the most gut-wrenching scenes. Young Shireen, crying out for her mother and father Stannis, as they watch her burn alive still clutching her carved stag toy. Bloody hell.
A massacre that many won’t be able to forget
THE RED WEDDING: I’m 45, and seeing Robb shout “Mother!” and hearing his mum’s guttural wail as they are both stabbed in a massacre still gives me nightmares. Makes the death of Bambi’s mum look like Phoenix Nights.

NAME OF WOES FOR 371 ‘KHALEESI’ KIDS
HUNDREDS of parents who named their kids Khaleesi, one of the many titles of heroine Daenerys, are gutted after she used her dragon to massacre thousands of unarmed women and children in the latest episode.
The once-inspirational Dragon Queen turned evil last night, shocking fans, who took to social media to air their dismay – and mock parents who named their daughters after her.
One Twitter user wrote: “Spare a thought for all the babies out there called Daenerys & Khaleesi, who will find out in a few years that their name literally means ‘Hitler on a dragon’.”
Another said to kids named Khaleesi: “Your parents owe you an apology.”
Figures show 371 babies in the UK have been named Khaleesi since the show’s debut in 2011.
